Chapter 36: The Cross Slope (I)

decided to go to Liangshan, and the three leaders of Zhu Wu went to encourage the little minions to follow them.

These people are all Zhu Wu's subordinates, and Shi Jin doesn't have much to say.

Six or seven hundred little minions were finally willing to follow Shi Jin, and only more than two hundred of them went to Liangshan, Shandong.

Some of the others want to stay in Shaohua Mountain, and some are ready to take refuge in other cottages.

Looking at the Zhuang Hakka Ding of Shijiazhuang, they are basically willing to follow Shi Jin, but only one-third of their younger brothers are willing to follow him. made Zhu Wu and the three of them very faceless, and they almost didn't even want to give the gang fee.

It was still Shi Jin who said something badly, so he asked Zhu Wu to give everyone a tael of silver and left.

Shaohuashan's little minions saw Shi Jin's treatment of Hakka Ding in his own village, and then looked at the treatment of his own leader's subordinates. Those little minions hoped that Shi would come in and lead them, so that they could also live a good life.

Unconsciously, the little minions of Shaohua Mountain consciously regarded Shi Jin as their big leader, anyway, the three leaders of Zhu Wu all said that Shi Jin would be the first leader, so he would naturally be their big leader.

Nearly 400 people, going to Shandong like this, to cross several provinces, is too conspicuous.

Therefore, Shi Jin scattered these people, pretending to be caravans, darts, and performing arts to divide into three teams, and took different roads to Liangshan. Departure one after another, a day's journey before and after.

Li Zhong has been walking on the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has a lot of understanding of the things on the rivers and lakes, coupled with his old and steady age, Shi Jin asked him and Yang Chun to lead more than 100 people to the front and explore the way.

The team led by Shi Jin was the largest, walking in the middle.

Yang Zhi led one hundred and fifty men to drag back.

Shi Jin rode on a red charcoal horse, led Zhu Wu and Chen Da, rode three horses, and nearly 200 people pretended to be dart masters, escorting four carriages loaded with fine silver, pretending to dart.

Shi Jin moved forward in high spirits.

Because they were afraid that Huayin Zhixian would go to sea to catch papers, the group did not dare to cross the city, and they all took detours, mostly mountain paths.

The group walked on the road and encountered bandits.

Zhu Wu will first use the Jianghu dialect to greet the other party to show his face and report his name, meet and make friends, the mountain does not turn around, and he will toast and toast tea when he meets in the future, so as not to be embarrassed to meet on the narrow road.

Those bandits and robbers heard the names of the three brothers of the Nine Pattern Dragon Shi Jin and Shaohua Mountain, and then saw that these "dart masters" were all heroic and extraordinary, and they easily did not dare to provoke these people.

Come up on the road to Wangliang Mountain, so as not to be hungry and thirsty, and stay at night. After a long journey, after nearly a month and a half of walking, the "dart master" walked into the boundary of Mengzhou, not far from the boundary of Qingzhou.

Although it is September, the autumn tiger is coming, the climate is dry, and on the day of a red sun, there is no cloud, and the day is very hot.

The group walked with a sweat, and they all sighed and boasted.

I was walking at a crossroads. When I looked at it, I saw that there were about a few grass huts under the dirt slope in the distance, and a wine curtain was picked out from the willow trees by the stream.

Chen Da was a little thirsty, and immediately suggested to Shi Jin: "Chief dart, in such a hot weather, the small ones are bitter. It's better to go into the restaurant and buy some drinks to moisten your throat. How about teaching them all to take a break and skip the day? ”

It was a very hot day, so it would be good for everyone to take a rest and save the brothers from heat stroke.

Shi Jin nodded in agreement, and the group approached the grass house.

Shi Jin instructed his subordinates to form a circle of all the dart carts and arrange a defensive formation. Half guarded, half rested, drank and ate. The two gangs alternate between them.

After arranging the dart master, Shi Jin took Zhu Wu, Chen Da and more than a dozen other people into the hotel to drink.

It's just that Shi Jin just walked to the woods, and when he saw the boundary sign at the crossroads, he was stunned.

Cross Slope!

Shi Jin was immediately stunned and muttered to himself: There is really a cross slope. Could it be that this is where Sun Erniang sells human meat buns?

At this time, Zhu Wu saw that Shi Jin had stopped, and immediately stopped and asked, "Chief Darthead, what's the matter?" ”

Shi Jin said softly: "This point may be a black shop, tell the brothers to be cautious!" ”

When Zhu Wu and Chen Da heard this, they immediately stopped.

Zhu Wu lowered his head and said softly: "When the head of the dart said this, I remembered it. I have heard many people say: Big tree cross slope, who dares to go there? The fat ones are cut into steamed bun fillings, but the thin ones are put to fill the river! In that case, why don't you keep on the road? ”

Shi Jin pondered for a while and said, "Now that I am waiting for so many people, be cautious, and I am not afraid of his way." I'll go in and find out later, and if it's true. We burned down the black shop. Do the right thing for heaven and eliminate harm for the people!

Zhu Wu heard that he was busy and said, "Since the chief dart head said so, let's go in and have a look!" ”

Shi Jin immediately led a group of people and walked towards the hotel in the forest.

When I ran to the edge of the cross slope to look, it was the first big tree, and four or five people couldn't hold it, and it was all wrapped around dead vines.

Wipe over the big tree, and see a hotel early.

In front of the door, by the window sill sat a woman: revealing a green gown, with a hairpin ring on her head and some wild flowers on her sideburns.

Seeing Shi Jin and his party, the woman walked up to greet her, tied a bright red silk skirt underneath, rubbed a face of rouge and lead powder, and opened her chest, revealing the main waist of peach yarn, with a gold button on it. The woman cried out and said, "Guest, go to rest." The family has good wine and good meat. When you have a snack, it's a big steamed bun! ”

Shi Jin, Zhu Wu, and Chen Da walked inside and sat down on a pair of cypress tables and stools.

I saw the woman smile and said, "Guest officer, how much wine do you drink?" ”

Shi Jin looked at the grass house carefully, and he didn't have time to pay attention to this Sun Erniang.

Chen Da shouted loudly: "Don't ask how much, just care about the heat." The meat was cut into more than a dozen catties. The money will be paid back to you in one shot. ”

Sun Erniang said: "There are also big steamed buns. ”

Chen Da shouted: "Also bring thirty or twenty to make snacks." ”

Sun Erniang grinned and took out a large barrel of wine, put down three large bowls, three pairs of chopsticks, cut out two plates of meat, sifted four or five rounds of wine in a row, and went to the stove to take a basket of steamed buns and put them on the table.

Shi Jin and the others heard that this is a black shop, where do they dare to eat casually.

Zhu Wu glanced at the bowl of wine, which was cloudy. He gestured to one of his men.

The subordinate immediately took a sip, and he didn't feel dizzy for half a while.

Chen Da immediately picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, and spit it on the ground as soon as he entered his mouth.

I'm used to burning knives, where can I get used to drinking this light and tasteless muddy wine.

Chen Da put the wine bowl on the table, and then slapped the table and shouted: "You black-hearted shopkeeper, but how much water you have mixed into the wine, it is light and tasteless." ”

A stupid man immediately ran out and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "Master Ke." Our shop is very fragrant and good, and we dare not mix it with water. ”

Chen Da was the most anxious, slapped the guy and scolded: "Such a light wine, and it is said that it is not mixed with water!" Go get some good wine! ”

That Sun Erniang's eyebrows were raised. Just looked at the two hundred or so people outside the house, and they were worried, and they didn't dare to provoke Shi Jin at all.

He could only make a look and motioned for the man to come into the house and bring out the best wine in the store.

Shi Jin saw that Chen Da was so arrogant, and Sun Erniang still endured it, and couldn't find a reason to have a seizure, so she had to be patient and continue to wait for the opportunity.

The wine had not yet been served, but the meat was brought first.

Looking at the thick bowl of meat, I thought that it might be human flesh. Shi Jin suddenly felt very nauseous, and wanted to vomit.
